Chapter Ninety-Six: Vacation

Entering July, the cement storm over Kanem is still blowing wildly, and there is no sign of stopping for the time being, and the cement windfall profits of Sika and Felician family building materials companies are still continuing.

By the end of June, there were a number of small vegetable farms on the outskirts of Draculamo that were supplying vegetables to the market, and after the initial opening of the Lonta-Draculamo highway, there were even Chinese businessmen who directly entered the contracted land in Draculamo to grow vegetables, which made the price of vegetables in Draculamo Chinese supermarkets and restaurants fall day by day.

After a period of more than six months of windfall profits, the profit margin of Ibogu Farm has shrunk significantly.

Cao Mo completely gave up the idea of expanding the planting area of the farm, and persuaded Oqiaosang to lease a part of the leveled cultivated land to the villagers of the tribe for a long time at a good price to engage in the cultivation of staple grains and vegetables.

The farm will be responsible for building several irrigation stations along the Lujiao River, and strive to increase the area of Ibogu's staple food and vegetables to 6,000 mu in one year, and almost use all of Ibogu's land except for forest land.

In the later stage, in addition to being responsible for the operation of the irrigation station, the farm also mainly turned to technical support and training, seed cultivation and sales, agricultural machinery and equipment leasing, edible mushroom planting, egg, meat and poultry, pig and sheep breeding and other businesses, and strive to spread to the surrounding Kolo, Jonai and other tribes step by step in the mode of low-profit operation.

During this period, four gold miners discovered small rock gold deposits in the northern part of Lunta.

It just so happened that there was a gold mine in Catro that had been depleted for decades and could no longer be sustained.

Investors had already made a lot of money, and they didn't bother to pay attention to the troubled gold mining company, and finally chose to go bankrupt and liquidate; the mine had a batch of second-hand mining equipment to sell, which was converted to less than $3 million, which happened to be a round.

Cao Mo also added a batch of second-hand equipment from the gold mining company, and recruited more than a dozen engineers and technicians.

The four gold miners who invested in Longta had experience in gold mining in China in the early years, and had certain technical and financial strength, and like Xu Sheng and Xie Sipeng, they were highly vigilant and vigilant against the locals.

Management and technical personnel would rather be hired from the country with high salaries, or directly bring people from the old team to Longta, rather than hire senior management and technical personnel from the local area.

It is not impossible for the employees of this gold mining company to work with them, but they will only be treated as ordinary employees, and the monthly salary may be slightly higher, but they are only sixty or seventy dollars.

These people were all dug up by Cao Mo with a "high salary" of $250 per month.

Xie Sipeng and his team still have no long-term investment plan in Longta, neither the idea of further additional equipment investment, nor the further exploration of the land on the periphery of the Jonai gold mine.

Starly and Lucy went to Benin, although some accidents occurred, but in the end, they successfully obtained the documents and left the country directly from Benin, which also belongs to the West African Commonwealth, to continue their studies in China.

Worried that the Jidam family would detect any clues, Cao Mo was very cautious at this time, even if he occasionally returned to Draculamo, he would always stay for a day or two before leaving, and neither he nor Abacha would take the initiative to contact little Tubman.

Almost everyone in Draculamo knew that the Tubman family had a deep feud with the Gidam family, and everyone except for the colonists' descendants who shared the same hatred and hatred, everyone else consciously or unconsciously distanced themselves from the younger Tubman.

Cao Mo would occasionally accept Xie Sipeng's invitation to play two games at the New Beach Casino, but he never saw little Tubman, and of course he never saw his descendant Bach again.

However, even during his stay in Draculamo, the main time he stayed in the staff dormitory of the branch to inquire about various information, and he easily did not go out to surf, but he seemed to be tired of being with Song Yuqing all day long.

More time is spent staying in Ibogu.

But by the end of July, Zhou Han thought that Draculamo was too boring, so he took Song Yuqing and Wang Wen to Ibogu for a vacation.

July is the rainy season in Kanem, and the climate is relatively humid and cool.

Although the cement plant has been put into operation for a long time, the follow-up construction of the factory area has not stopped, and it was not until the end of July that the plant area and the wall of the gold mining area were built, and the Sika and Felician family building materials company and the Felician mining company looked like that, but it was also the level of the village factories in the seventies and eighties in China.

After the completion of the barrage, a narrow mountain lake reservoir of hundreds of acres was intercepted at the Yibogu Hydropower Station, and three wooden houses were built on stilts in Caomo Linhu, even in the hot dry season, the lake breeze blows, and the coconut groves sway, it is also very cool.

The small lakeside building was planted with palm trees, blue orchids, and triangular plums, planted with turf, and surrounded by bamboo fences, making it look like a small holiday manor.

The old chieftain Felician did not hesitate to occupy a wooden house and move in, and designated Cao Mo to teach his chef the skills of Chinese cuisine.

When Cao Mo had the leisure to take care of his life a little more delicately, Abacha came here to eat, drink and sleep without shame, but fortunately he couldn't come over today.

Zhou Han, Song Yuqing, and Wang Wen came over, and Cao Mo also arranged for them to live there.

There is no messy gold mining area and factory area, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, but it is a good place for vacation——

"Wow, you're too nourishing here, aren't you?" Wang Wen got out of the car and saw a row of wooden houses under the coconut grove by the lake, jumped and said, "Sister Song also said that you are extremely bitter here, haha, people will go crazy if they stay in the mountains for a few more days." There must be a cell phone signal here, and I am willing to keep me here! Where are you suffering, you are obviously here to be a chief!"

Cao Mo glanced at Wang Wen, who had nothing to do to think of imprisoning her in the mountains?

"Can you swim in the lake?" asked Wang Wen excitedly.

"There should be no piranhas or crocodiles in the mountains," Cao Mo said, .......

Hearing Cao Mo say this, Wang Wen immediately dispelled the idea of jumping out of his swimsuit and into the lake.

While Wang Wen and Zhou Han were moving their luggage into the room, Cao Mo asked Song Yuqing: "Sister Yuqing, are you satisfied with the wooden house you built?"

"The ghost believes that you built this for me?" Song Yuqing glanced at Cao Mo, who was lying on the bed on all fours, walked to the window and looked at the lake, and couldn't help but stretch her arms, her sleeves were hung up, revealing a snow-white and delicate waist, and her buttocks were wrapped round by jeans.

Cao Mo walked over and squeezed to the window.

"Don't squeeze me!"

In order to save costs, Cao Mo was reluctant to build floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the lake, the windows were still slightly smaller, and Song Yuqing twisted her waist to squeeze Cao Mo away.

Of course Cao Mo didn't do it, she was close to Song Yuqing's long legs, and she could clearly feel the moving elasticity and burning heat through the two layers of cloth, especially Song Yuqing didn't dodge anymore, which made Cao Mo feel an indescribable thrilling in her heart.

Cao Mo wanted to reach out to grab Song Yuqing's waist, but was opened by Song Yuqing. Song Yuqing glanced at Cao Mo, moved her body aside slightly, Cao Mo squeezed over again, Song Yuqing didn't get out of the way again, just said in a tired voice: "Don't get in the way of me watching the scenery!"

After listening to the sound of footsteps approaching for a while, Song Yuqing turned around and went to the bed to clean up her salute, Cao Mo didn't want to be embarrassed, so she could only bend over and stand in front of the window and continue to pretend to look at the scenery.

Zhou Han walked in in a cool dress, talked to Song Yuqing for a while, and saw that Cao Mo was still standing in front of the window looking outside, so he walked over and asked, "What's beautiful outside?"

Zhou Han walked over curiously, her cold and delicate arm seemed to rub Cao Mo unintentionally, looked at nothing outside, and complained: "Turn your head quickly, there are two of us beauties in the house, it's not enough for you to see?"

Song Yuqing knew why Cao Mo didn't dare to turn around, especially when Cao Mo was wearing beach pants, it was quite obvious, she just lowered her head and smiled, pretending to take out the clothes in the suitcase and pack them up.

Cao Mo dragged a chair, sat down with her feet crossed, and asked, "What instructions does Sister Zhou have?"

"I'm obviously younger than Yuqing, you call people old, is it really so obvious that the difference is treated? If you dislike me and get in your way, then I will leave honestly. Zhou Han said angrily.

At this time, Wang Wen had already changed into a swimsuit and walked in.

She is not as tall as Song Yuqing and Zhou Han, but she is very well-proportioned, and she pulls Zhou Han and Song Yuqing to swim in the lake.

"Don't sneak down to the lake, the lake is not shallow, the slope is still steep, if no one sees it, your level may not really be able to struggle ashore," Cao Mo was startled and persuaded Wang Wen, "Tonight, tomorrow I will take you to a shallow water area to play! In addition, it is the rainy season, and the rainstorm in the forest will fall as soon as it is said, and the water potential of the stream and river changes greatly, so don't play secretly!"

"Then why am I in a hurry to change this body?" Wang Wen pouted and said regretfully.

"If you come here to eat other people's food and live in other people's homes for nothing, you have to let people look at them twice and charge a fee. Zhou Han joked.

Wang Wen walked in generously, called Zhou Han, and felt like he was naked in front of Cao Mo, covering his chest and running back to his room.

Although this wooden house is a single-storey structure, it has four rooms, a rather spacious dining room, a living room, and a terrace in front of and behind the house - considering that Abacha will often come to eat and stay, and the four rooms are arranged according to the guest rooms, and the conditions are completely different from when Cao Mo first entered Ibogu.

There was no special cook, but the old chief Felici lived next door, and he usually lived every day, and was taken care of by four villagers.

The farm has been in operation for more than half a year, not only all kinds of vegetables, meat, eggs, poultry, pigs and sheep breeding, but even the staple grain planting has the first harvest, plus all kinds of freshwater fish and shrimp fish, the tribe's diet is also abundant.

Perhaps because of the improvement in his diet, the old chieftain Felician did not have the same aging as when they first met, and now muttered all day long that he wanted to build a wooden boat and put it in the lake, so that the fishing gear that Cao Mo gave him could be of greater use.

It was not enough to sit by the lake and fish, so he even thought about building a dinghy, Cao Mo secretly complained that the old chief was really enjoying it more and more.

At night, the number of mosquitoes in the jungle is an insurmountable problem, so everyone can only close the doors and windows and chat in the house.

Only then did Zhou Han tell the reason why she dragged Song Yuqing and Wang Wen to Yibogu:

"When Mr. Yan talked about the industrial park before, Abacha Sika seemed to be very interested, and said that he would build one in Longta, but why didn't he hear any sound later?"

"Recently, the United Bank of Oman wanted to take a trust fund to Ibogu to invest in the construction of a hydropower station, and I took this matter over with Abacha, and Abacha also joined forces with the Felician family and the Blake family to plan to build a high-voltage transmission grid between Ibogu and Draculamo-" There are some news that will inevitably be made public in the future, Cao Mo naturally does not need to hide it from Zhou Han, and said, "Abacha is mainly running around for this now, and the matter of the industrial park is probably forgotten for a long time, right? If Taihua is really interested, I will ask Abacha to come over tomorrow, and you can talk to each other face-to-face......"

"You're doing better and better here!"

Abacha has not taken the initiative to contact Xie Sipeng, Xiao Tubman, Yan Zhicheng and others during this time, Zhou Han is not very clear about the preparation of the ladder hydropower station and the transmission grid, listening to Cao Mo's brief introduction, they were all startled, looked at Cao Mo with strange eyes, and sighed with emotion.

"Like Sister Zhou, it's a part-time job anyway, it's good to take on a little more work," Cao Mo spread his hands and said indifferently, "I'm doing this smoothly now, if Taihua wants to come over and invest in the hydropower station, I can also help negotiate with the tribe, help with site selection and surveying, and finally give me a commission to ......."

"How many hydropower stations are already under construction, how much power is generated?" Zhou Han asked in a deep voice.

"At present, there are four under construction, all of which are small hydropower stations, the construction period is short, and they can be completed one after another before the year, and the total power generation is 60 or 70 million kWh a year, even if the construction cost of the hydropower station in Kanem is much higher than that in China, but Kanem is in short supply of electricity in the whole country, and the price of hydropower is more than twice as high as in China, and the income is still considerable,"

Cao Mo wants to poke out Zhou Han's bottom, so naturally he has to show her the bottom first.

"The hydropower resources in the upper reaches of the Lujiao River are still quite sufficient, for example, from our current place, about five kilometers upstream, there is a fairly deep canyon, called Yeyang Gorge, the geological conditions of the gorge are good, it is suitable for building a medium-sized hydropower station with an annual power generation scale of hundreds of millions of kWh. Of course, this is a medium-sized hydropower station in Kanem, but in the eyes of us Chinese, this can only be regarded as a small hydropower station, after all, after the completion of the Three Gorges, the scale is 1,000 times that of it; however, the Felician family may not be able to raise funds for the construction of this hydropower station. The Felician family has preliminarily calculated that the hydropower station group that can be built in the north of Longta will eventually generate 7800 million kWh of hydropower per year, and the total investment will be 200 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the investment of building a large thermal power plant in China......"

"If Longta has a cheap supply of industrial electricity, it will be more convenient to build an industrial park to attract investment, Dracula is only fifty or sixty kilometers away from here, and the price of industrial electricity is really scary......" Zhou Han frowned, as if complaining.

"Not really. Cao Mo followed her tone and spread her hands and said.
